158. The Second Plane Descends
That evening, Sand Hill hosted a grand welcome dinner, which, according to Sand Hill tradition, was a bonfire party held in the square, which was very lively to welcome the arrival of the two tidal naga and snowy naga of Talos and Dolores.
Due to many reasons such as environment, history and beliefs, it is rare to see tidal naga in the Sand Mountains, and it is even rarer to find snowy naga in Antarctica.
Talos opened his belly and wiped out an entire roasted whole sheep in one fell swoop under Dolores' slightly surprised gaze, and having only one glass of water and one serving of jerky at each meal during the seven days of asceticism was an ordeal for anyone who was growing his body, not to mention that he was a man with [gluttony].
Brushed with a layer of honey or sauce, the roasted whole lamb was shiny and golden, which made Talos rise a long-lost gluttonous desire at the first time, and if it weren't for the fear that this kind of eating in Datong would scare others, he could still swallow the second one.
In fact, Talos had quietly instructed the waiter to bring his second roasted whole lamb to his room after the bonfire.
The halfling chef, whose craft has been recognized, doesn't mind Talos' big appetite and prepares with great energy.
From the food to the music, this campfire night was perfect, except for the youngest daughter of the Chief of Sand Mountain, the four-armed Naga Fahada, who was learning druid spells with the Desert Lord, who had been very enthusiastic about inviting Talos to dance.
He had to patiently refuse over and over again, and finally surrendered to Dolores' snickering.
After all the excitement, Talos returned to his room, ready to take a bath to soothe his body and mind, and then buried himself in the soft bed and slept until dawn.
However, the moment he plunged headlong into the pool, the soul fire trembled, and then in a trance, he saw a picture, from a third-person perspective.
It was a man, trapped in what looked like a dungeon, screaming in terror, whom Talos recognized, Remus Caro, the first bloodline knight under the command of the second prince Bruce to plant the seed of jealousy.
Talos didn't know what this bloodline knight had gone through after being planted with the seed of jealousy by him, and he had actually fallen to this point, the only thing that was certain was that the seed of jealousy in the other party's body had grown to a limit.
Because Remus's appearance looks exactly like the [jealousy] counterattack that Talos encountered before, the upper and lower eyelids have grown together, and only the eyes that are constantly rolling under the skin are faintly visible due to panic.
Remus's frightened screams drew a group of jailers, their expressions initially nonchalant, and only panicked to inform the others when they saw the Bloodline Knight encountering the Gaped Eye.
As some of the jailers opened the dungeon doors in an attempt to help Remus open his eyes, and some of the jailers hurried away—and Talos guessed they were going to ask for help from the priests of the Temple of Order and Knighthood—the power of jealousy began to shift to other organs.
The Bloodline Knight's terrified mouth vanished in a whining sound, the upper and lower lips joined together, the outer ear and ear canal disappeared together, and the nostrils were covered in a layer of skin.
At first, Talos could barely recognize that it was a human head, and although the facial features were gone, the general outline was still there.
About half a minute later, before the priest arrives in the dungeon, all that Talos can see in the picture is an oval ball of flesh, and even his hair has fallen out, as if Remus's head has never appeared on his neck since he was born.
In the next second, a special force broke through the air, and together with Remus's soul, it fell into the soul fire, and suddenly splashed a round of bright flames.
Talos knew that Remus was dead, dying of jealousy from one of the seven primordial desires.
- Now Talos can be sure that whether he is jealous of others, or others are jealous of him, or the death of a target who has planted the seeds of jealousy, he can gain a very pure power of jealousy.
At the same time, the Medusa pattern on the temporary imprint door in the center of the soul fire was finally completely lit up, blooming with a hazy and strange pale blue light, making Medusa, who was already enchanting, charming, hideous, and terrifying, even more bewitching!
Talos knew that from this moment on, he could do a second Plane Advent whenever he wanted!
"Great!" Talos swung his fist several times to calm his excitement.
What he lacks most now is time, and the proportion of time that was born with the advent of the plane can give him a lot of respite to practice his martial arts, learn combat expertise, improve his strength as soon as possible, and of course, most importantly, strip jealousy away.
"It's a pity that I'm in Sand Mountain now, otherwise I would-be able to-yes, maybe I can refer to my mother's opinion. ”
Talos closed his eyes, sank his spirit into the magic ring, and soon made contact with Sandra in the Black Sea.
Faced with Talos's situation and consultation, the Black Sea Lord's reply was very simple, with only one sentence: "Sephiroth will prepare the safest environment for you, although you try to break through, I promise that no one will dare to disturb you until you take the initiative to open the door." ”
The efficiency of the Sand Mountain Chief was very high, and soon, a group of second-order bloodline knights led by a four-armed Naga and numbering more than fifty appeared neatly outside the Talos room, protecting the room tightly, and there was even a desert wyvern with a third-order strength hovering in the air.
Such a lineup is more than enough to protect Talos from being disturbed during the Plane Arrival, even if he goes to the desert to destroy a group of sand bandits.
Nodding in surprise and satisfaction, Talos greeted the leader's four-armed Naga and Dolores, closed the door, and placed a few simple spell alarms in the room with the help of a spell scroll, before sinking himself to the bottom of the pool.
Frost steel scimitar, space ring......
Hoping that all goes well, Talos put the items that might be used after the arrival of the plane into the watch world, and pointed a little against the temporary sigil door.
The eerie Medusa pattern came to life in a strange burst of blue light, twisting its slender snake tails, snake hair dancing wildly, and Talos could even hear the snakes hissing and spitting snake letters.
The blue light became more and more dazzling, and finally turned into a strong feeling of vertigo.
As in the first plane, Talos's soul is in a strange world, and the concept of his soul or consciousness is constantly stretched and extended in a rapidly passing streamer, rotating and turning along a specific trajectory towards the second plane.
Before losing consciousness, Talos discovers something he had forgotten because he was too excited - there was another human in the watch world.
I hope no one dies, he thought.
Then everything went dark.
